&gt; You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot 
strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by 
pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by 
encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You 
cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.&nbsp; You cannot build 
character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and independence. You 
cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for 
themselves.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and under a 
just God, can not long retain it.&nbsp; In giving freedom to the slave, we assure 
freedom to the free - honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve.&nbsp; 
This is a world of compensations and he who would be no slave must consent to 
have no slave. Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong 
impulse to see it tried on him personally.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Every man is proud of what he does well and no man is proud of what he does 
not do well. With the former, his heart is in his work and he will do twice as 
much of it with less fatigue. The latter performs a little imperfectly, looks at 
it in disgust, turns from it and imagines himself exceedingly tired. The little 
he has done comes to nothing, for want of finishing.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; A capacity and taste for reading, gives access to whatever has already been 
discovered by others. It is the key or one of the keys to the already solved 
problems. And not only so, it gives a relish and facility for successfully 
pursuing the [yet] unsolved ones.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Every blade of grass is a study and to produce two, where there was but one is 
both profit and pleasure.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Let us have faith that right makes might and in that faith, let us, to the 
end, dare to do our duty, as we understand it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from 
the support of a cause we believe to be just.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Better to keep one's mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open it and 
remove all doubt.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; No matter how much the cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens.</span></p>

&gt; Nearly all men can stand adversity but if you want to test a man's character, 
give him power.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Sir my concern is not whether God is on our side. My great concern is to be on 
God's side.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; I am not concerned that you have fallen -1 am concerned that you arise.</span></p>

&gt; I will prepare and some day my chance will come.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; I may be a slow walker but I never look back.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
&gt; Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:Arial">
